In 2023, Norway led European crustacean production with 34.04%, followed by the United Kingdom at 21.78% and the Netherlands at 9.97%. Notably, Norway saw an 11.2% increase. Italy, Spain, and France also play significant roles. In contrast, countries like Iceland and Germany experienced substantial declines in production. The long-term trend showed a mixture of stability and slight declines, except for Cyprus and Slovenia, which displayed remarkable growth proportions.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in sustainable capture fisheries, potential regulatory changes affecting quotas, and possible impacts of climate change on crustacean habitats affecting the production in regions like Norway and the UK.
